Love the storyline,but because of bad camera angles, no HD, Andre even know they have effort and heart they need one or two stars that WWE has POPularized.

Adam W.

I beg to differ. I feel judging the show on their production, or lack there of, isn't fair to the product. Ring of Honor or Sinclair Broadcasting don't have the millions of dollars that WWE or TNA has, so they can't afford expensive equipment. I personally feel they make up for their lack of production with some of the best wrestling on the planet. ROH is the underdog and the fact that they put on a great show every week, regardless of their production, just makes me have more respect for them. As a whole, we have seen the company grow into one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world.

Also, I absolutely disagree that the company needs more WWE or TNA bred stars. The fact that ROH essentially made Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Kevin Steen, TJ Perkins, Chris Hero, Roderick Strong, etc. as popular as they are today is quite amazing. It's debatable, but ROH may have even helped in the popularization of CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Evan Bourne, etc. Even when the company gets WWE or TNA talent such as Haas and Benjamin or Jay Lethal, they build them as new stars. ROH doesn't want the same thing they have done in previous companies, they want to build them as who they are; wrestlers.

You r right but WWE nobody’s get more pub than ROH and It’s true Davey, Strong r better wrestler than Zack but still if one or two WWE rejects help u than…. Now the big loser is TNA cause the one time they need to invest they didn’t with the wgtt and let Rob van Dam and team 3-D go but that’s bad management and that only helps ROH.

Adam W.

Well, if ROH does in fact invest in "rejects" from WWE wouldn't that just make them another TNA? Instead of focusing on talented wrestlers, TNA has so many WWE alumni based solely of their recognition. Look where that has gotten TNA, in terms of being a respected promotion. That really hasn't turned out well for them.
